I had 11K in damage from hail last year. The SOT was fine. My hood looked like a golf ball, thought for sure I would have an ornament for my garage when they replaced it… Turned out, the The PDR guys did a great job.I had left on a work trip and left my 392 parked at the office. That night a hail storm came through with golf ball and bigger hail. I am taking it Friday to get the initial estimate done.
I hate it when that happens.
My son actually took advantage of hail damage recently though. He just bought a Chevy Camaro with very low miles and no problems other than hail damage similar to yours. The car had a clear title, not a salvage title, but he paid 1/3 the price of what the same Camaro without hail damage would have been on NADA. So, a super good deal for him. He doesn't mind the hail damage. I personally think that with that car it makes it look pretty mean, like a street fighter that can't be killed.
Anyway, sorry to hear of your bad luck. Probably won't buff out though.
392 in non bulletproof stainless steel exoskeleton woud be absolutely insane. Reality is though the weight would be a massive problem. Doors off would become a full commitment like SOT top off is lolAfter watching several videos of Cybertruck bulletproof door panels, I really wish our 392s would have the same materials…
Sorry for the damage, sucks.
Hopefully won't be too expensive to get fixed. On another note, for me trying to keep something perfect is frustrating because it is a losing battle. My 2013 JK, I ripped the front fender off on a trail and dented the rear fender something terrible. Ended up drilling a hole in the inner fender and using a heat gun on the outer fender and stuck a piece of rebar in the inner hole and pushed the outer fender back straight. Was not perfect by any means, but you couldn't tell unless you looked fairly close. The hood doesn't look terrible unless you look closer. Battle scars don't have to be the end of the world unless we are trying to have a show vehicle. Mine has some rock chips (minor) and fine scratches on the soft top windows.I hate it when that happens.

Awesome, hope when you get it back you cannot tell anything ever happened!Quote came in at $3700. The only body part getting replaced is the hood. Everything else they are going to pop out. Insurance is covering all but my $500 deductible. The military is reimbursing my deductible since I was on official travel and forced to park at the base when it happened. Silver lining is that I get a brand new hood.
24 years in the Navy and I have never heard such a thing. Good for you.The military is reimbursing my deductible since I was on official travel and forced to park at the base when it happened.
